Hotel Agora Amsterdam LocationHotel Agora Amsterdam Location (Map)

Hotel Agora is situated on the Singel canal in the centre of Amsterdam, next to the flower market and near the city’s main squares: Leidseplein, Rembrandtplein, Spui and Dam Square. The hotel is located in the heart of the Amsterdam city centre. The crowdedness of this area forms a good picture of the life of the people in Amsterdam, but may also cause some noise. The rooms with a view on the court are the quietest rooms.

How to reach the Hotel Agora? How to reach the Hotel Agora?

From Amsterdam Central Station: Take either tram 1, 2, or 5 and get off at the fourth stop called 'Koningsplein' at the flower market. The hotel is within walking distance from the tram stop.

From Schiphol Amsterdam Airport:
1. Take the KLM shuttle from the airport to Amsterdam centre and get off at NH (Jolly) Carlton Hotel (€ 8.00). Walk till the other end of the flower market to the hotel (about 600 meter)
2. Take the train from Schiphol Airport to Amsterdam Central Station (€ 3.00 p.p. or free if you fly KLM), this takes about 20 minutes. Take from Amsterdam Central Station either tram 1, 2, or 5, get off at the fourth stop called 'Koningsplein' at the flower market (€ 1.50) or take a taxi, which will cost about € 4.50 - € 6.50.
3. Take a taxi from Schiphol airport to Hotel Agora, this takes about 20/25 minutes and costs about € 31.00 - € 37.00. When taking a taxi: always mention the hotel's address as well, because there is another hotel named Okura and taxi drivers seem to have difficulties to hear the difference. The difference is € 11.00 which you’ll have to pay.

By car, from Utrecht: To get to our hotel follow the A2 highway from Utrecht until the very end. At the exit of the A2 , in the city, turn right. You are now driving along the Amstel river. This street is called “Amsteldijk”. Keep driving straight ahead until the street comes to a end. At this point you need to make a left onto the street Stadhouderskade.

Great location (you can easily walk to dam and to museum quarter) almost in the middle of "happening". breakfast included (although it is standard not so various). pleasant personel.
A bit overpriced for that kind of facilities.

Fantastic location you can walk every where from this hotel it is so central, the hotel is very clean are room was perfect shower and toilet also spotless staff are very friendly as is dutch people in general, the hotel location is quite at night regarding where it is so central, but since holland changed to the euro shopping is expensive as drink if you have your lady with you for ex 6 euro for a breezer about £5 and 2.50 euro for half a pint about £2 but it is so good you forget about that when you are there.
Nothing at all it was perfect

We had the loft room, it was so cool!!! like a mini apartment. the staff were brilliant, friendly and helpful. they overheard us saying that we were over for my friends birthday, and presented her with a slice of cake at breakfast...he breakfast was also great. would definately stay here again and recommend to anyone.
The 6 flights of stairs to our room!!! but that is with any hotel. also this is a budget hotel-the rooms are a bit old-but so so clean so if you are looking for the hilton go there instead!

Great location, central to everything.
The fact that there was no lift. climbing those stair to get to my room was a trail as i have respertority trouble and that made it unplesent. close the hotel for a while and put in lifts.
